About a million penguins live on the Patagonian coast, in the Punta Tombo reserve, 180 kilometers from Puerto Madryn.
The Punta Tombo penguin colony, near the city of Trelew, is home to the largest continental colony of Magellan penguins and receives more than one million specimens that reproduce every season.
The tourist town of Puerto Madryn, located on the Atlantic, is one of the starting points for visiting the Punta Tombo reserve and seeing the penguins. Created in 1979 by the government of Chubut (one of the Provinces of Argentina), the reserve allows you to see thousands of these seabirds in their natural habitat, less than a meter away.

I was impressed with the amount of penguins there. A million penguins are many penguins. The visit of Perito Moreno has been recommended to me by many friends and, who knows, we may go one day. Regards 😊

Visit Peninsula Valdes in 2015.
The arrival of the whales and the presence of thousands of penguins and other species is a wonderful experience.
Visit also the island of the birds, or better say through the long view because you can not enter.
Excellent post.
Regards.
